Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vertical container technology, and in particular to a vertical container support. Background Technology
[0002] To maintain the stability of vertical containers, domestic vertical containers generally use support-type brackets for support, such as... Figure 1 As shown: It consists of a base plate 01, a pad plate 03, and stiffening plates 02. To increase the support strength and stability, two longitudinal stiffening plates 02 are provided between the base plate 01 and the pad plate 03. The outer side of the stiffening plates 02 is perpendicular to the base plate 01 away from the vertical container, and the inner side is slightly inclined towards the vertical container. A stiffening plate A is welded longitudinally on the base plate 01, and a stiffening plate B is symmetrically welded transversely on the base plate 01 on one side of the stiffening plate A. The stiffening plates A and B are fixed together by welding. A pad plate 03 is welded to the top of the stiffening plates A and B. The base plate 01 is provided with bolt holes 04, and the base plate 01 is fixed to the ground through the bolt holes 04. The pad plate 03 is generally designed as an arc shape and is welded to fit the lower end contour of the lower head of the vertical container.
[0003] Because the radial distance between the center of the bolt holes on the base plate and the axis of the vertical container is less than the radius of the vertical container in the industry standard NB / T47065.4 for container supports, large containers with heavy loads may vibrate due to insufficient stability when subjected to external disturbances such as strong winds or earthquakes. The pulsation of the medium transmission inside the container can easily generate eddies, which can cause liquid excitation inside the container. This excitation can cause the entire container to shake, increasing safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a vertical container support.
[0005] This utility model proposes a vertical container support base, wherein the base plate is provided with bolt holes. By moving the support base outward and fixing it to the outer edge of the vertical container, the bolt holes are moved outward, thereby making the radial distance between the center of the bolt holes and the axis of the vertical container greater than or equal to the radius of the vertical container. The pad is fitted with the lower end contour of the lower end cap of the vertical container and is set as a tangential support structure.
[0006] Preferably, the stiffening plate consists of three pieces, which are longitudinally connected between the base plate and the pad.
[0007] Preferably, both the outer and inner sides of the stiffening plate are inclined toward the vertical container.
[0008] Preferably, a height adjustment mechanism is also provided between the stiffening plate and the base plate.
[0009] Preferably, the height adjustment mechanism includes multiple lifting components, and the lower end of the rib plate is provided with an integral lower end plate, which is perpendicular to the rib plate. The multiple lifting components are fixed between the lower end plate and the bottom plate.
[0010] Preferably, the lifting component is a hydraulic cylinder or a jack.
[0011] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: by moving the support seat outward and fixing it to the outer edge of the vertical container, and driving the bolt holes outward, the radial distance between the center of the bolt holes on the base plate and the axis of the vertical container is increased, thereby improving the stability of the support and preventing the vertical container from shaking when subjected to external disturbances such as strong winds or earthquakes. This improves the support stability of the vertical container when subjected to external disturbances and solves the problem that insufficient support stability of the vertical container causes container vibration; and that the pulsation of the medium transmission inside the container easily generates eddies, which in turn causes liquid excitation inside the container, causing the entire container to shake and increasing safety hazards.
[0012] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar symbols denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0021] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the vertical container support proposed in this embodiment includes a base plate 1, a pad plate 3, and a stiffener plate 2. The base plate 1 is provided with bolt holes 4. By moving the support outward to the outer edge of the vertical container and fixing it, the bolt holes 4 are moved outward, thereby making the radial distance between the center of the bolt holes 4 and the axis of the vertical container greater than or equal to the radius of the vertical container (by moving the entire support outward, the bolt holes 4 on the base plate 1 are moved outward). The pad plate 3 fits the lower end contour of the lower end cap 7 of the vertical container and is set as a tangential support structure.
[0022] It should be noted that, compared with the existing structure, by moving the entire support seat outward, the bolt holes 4 on the base plate 1 are moved outward. After the outward movement, the center distance is increased, which has the following effects: (1) The horizontal distance (lever arm) between the force point and the center of gravity of the entire support seat increases. According to the torque formula: M=F×L, we know that: where M is the torque, F is the force, and L is the length of the lever arm; when the lever arm L increases, the support seat's resistance to overturning moment is enhanced, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure. (2) The stress-bearing area of the base plate of the support seat is expanded and the load distribution is more uniform. This design can effectively reduce the stress concentration in the local area of the base plate and avoid deformation or damage caused by excessive stress, thereby improving the stability and durability of the support; (3) The center distance is increased, the bearing capacity of the base plate 1 is increased, and the stability is further improved; (4) After the center distance is increased, the overall structural stiffness of the support seat is optimized. After the center distance is increased, it can better resist the vibration and deformation caused by external loads. Especially under dynamic loads or impact loads, the stability of the support structure is significantly improved; (5) After the center distance is increased, the support seat can adapt to more complex working conditions, such as uneven ground or inclined installation surface. After the center distance is increased, more adjustment space can be provided so that the support seat can remain stable under different working conditions.
[0023] Meanwhile, using tangential supports can avoid the support base generating additional torque on the vertical vessel, ensuring the vessel's determinism and safety.
[0024] It should be noted that each vertical container requires multiple support seats, which are evenly distributed around the lower head 7 of the vertical container. The center of the bolt holes 4 of each support seat is around the diameter of the vertical container, which is greater than or equal to the diameter of the vertical container. Compared with the existing structure, by moving the support seat outward as a whole, the radial distance between the center of the bolt holes and the axis of the vertical container is increased, making the support more stable and avoiding the shaking of the vertical container when subjected to external disturbances such as strong winds or earthquakes. This improves the support stability of the vertical container when subjected to external disturbances.
[0025] Thus, by moving the support seat outward and fixing it towards the outer edge of the vertical container, and causing the bolt holes 4 to move outward, the radial distance between the center of the bolt holes 4 on the base plate 1 and the axis of the vertical container is greater than or equal to the radius of the vertical container. By increasing the radial distance between the center of the bolt holes 4 on the base plate 1 and the axis of the vertical container (the entire support seat moves outward, thereby causing the bolt holes 4 on the base plate 1 to move outward), the stability of the support is improved, avoiding the shaking of the vertical container when subjected to external disturbances such as strong winds or earthquakes. This improves the support stability of the vertical container when subjected to external disturbances and solves the problem that insufficient support stability of the vertical container causes container vibration; and that the pulsation of the medium transmission inside the container easily generates eddies, which in turn causes liquid excitation inside the container, causing the entire container to shake and increasing safety hazards.
[0026] Furthermore, the stiffening rib 2 consists of three pieces, longitudinally connected between the base plate 1 and the pad plate 3. This improves the load-bearing capacity and support strength, ensuring the stability of the vertical container. Thus, based on the existing number of support seats, it is possible to increase the load-bearing capacity of the support seats without increasing their number.
[0027] Furthermore, both the outer and inner sides of the stiffening rib 2 are inclined towards the vertical container, improving the uniformity of stress distribution. Of course, in other embodiments, four stiffening ribs or other quantities can be added depending on the actual situation. Increasing the number of stiffening ribs not only improves the load-bearing capacity but also helps resist wind and seismic loads, ensuring stable operation of the medium in the vertical container and avoiding safety hazards.
[0028] In order to achieve the solution in the above embodiments, the dimensions of the base plate 1, stiffening plate 2 and pad plate 3 have all increased compared to the current ones.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, a height adjustment mechanism is further provided between the stiffening plate 2 and the base plate 1. This allows the height of the entire support to be adjusted according to vertical containers of different heights, increasing its applicability.
[0030] Specifically, the height adjustment mechanism includes multiple lifting components 5. The lower end of the stiffening plate 2 is provided with an integrated lower end plate 6, which is perpendicular to the stiffening plate 2. The multiple lifting components 5 are fixed between the lower end plate 6 and the base plate 1. The lifting components 5 can be hydraulic cylinders or jacks, etc. Of course, other lifting mechanisms are also possible; existing structures can be referenced, and this article does not impose specific limitations.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
